The Germania Clubwould like to welcome
new members
Dear Members,
Hosting the Volunteer Recog-nition Dinner was the high-light of the month of Janu-ary. It was my real pleasure, to say thank you to a group of volunteers, who have gone way beyond expectations, in volunteering countless hours, and expending much effort, on a regular basis, be-hind the scenes. I would like to thank Wal-traud for her kind words, in recognizing my work and involvement with the Club. Thank you very much. There would be no Germania Club without volunteers. Some of our volunteer mem-bers continue to prepare Sunday lunch, and the movie afternoon. The first Sunday lunch in 2017 was a great success. The restaurant was full, and I counted 45 people in the Great Hall, enjoying the movie afternoon, and coffee and cake with their friends. Thanks again to the volun-

Moin dear Fisher & Hunter Members and Friends Does “March” not sound good and March Break is coming up soon. Our young Members, I’m sure, are looking forward to this Break. As I’m writing this in February, I know some of our Members and Friends are Ice Fishing, I wish them Good Luck and keep warm out there. We had our Annual Meeting in Feb., but there’s nothing new to report. We hope Brigitte and Joe are WELL and enjoying that Florida Sun. We’ll see you soon. Our Meetings are still the same, every 3rd Thursday of each Month at 8PM. We hope to see some of you Folks there. I don’t know of any Birthdays this Month except for Gary Albrecht, Happy Birthday to you and anyone celebrating a Birthday or Anniversary, Best Wishes to you from you’re Fisher & Hunter Friends.
-- That’s all for now, untill next Month Tschuess and keep safe.

50 Year Member: – alto Muhlhuber
Alto was born on May 16, 1932.
At age 20 he became a baker in Munich and in 1953 immigrated with his friend Max by boat to Canada.
In 1958 he met his wife in Germany, where he was visiting at the time.
Soon afterwards, she joined him in Canada. Together they started a family in 1959 with the birth of a daughter Lotte.
In 1966, he became a member of the Germania Club. There they made many friends and enjoyed many good times.
Alto worked as a baker in Canada. He started making Pumpernickel bread, because it was not known here, and he continued to do so for a number of years.
Afterwards he worked as an assembler at Ford in Oakville for many years and later was promoted to Inspector for 20 years until his retirement.
Congratulations Alto for many years as a faithful member of the Germania Club.

Better late than never, with apologies that our Christmas Report did not make the February Germania Post. In celebration of our year, people braved the snow storm and we were happy to have 24 players come out to celebrate. Joining our members, we welcomed guests from Kitchener, Ohio and Kelowna. We started early this year, since there were other bookings for Christmas Parties, and this seemed to work well. Lunch was enjoyed by everyone, and we celebrated our year end victors, Club Champion, Horst Kreitzer for the 6th year in a row. Second place was Henry Schultz and third place was myself, Heidi Frank. Congratulations to everyone, and a big thank you for the support from our membership throughout the year. We do manage to bring in some business for the club every Saturday, so hopefully this will continue and maybe
our club will continue to grow. We were honoured this year to welcome two very special guests, firstly, Hans Juergen Steinmetz who has been the ISPA president for Canada for as long as our Club exists, he travelled from Kelowna, BC. Also we welcomed the President from ISPA USA, Bill Thompson, who also has been visiting our club for at least 10 years. A big thank you to Lori, for looking after us so well, not only at the Christmas Party but year round, and a thank you to our Germania Club President, Ulli Venohr, for his well wishes for our continued future. Everyone is welcome, Saturday at 12:30 PM, please come and join us.
Until next time, GBHeidi Frank

ChoralNotes
Here we are in the month that heralds the beginning of spring. It cannot come soon enough. At the moment, not much is happening in the choir. Clement, our pianist, went on holidays to China for sev-eral weeks. As a result, Linus has been our accompanist at the piano, and Gertrud has been doing some conduct-ing, since we are practising for George Fisher’s birthday party on Feb. 16th. I have some sad news to re-port. Karin Platz has passed away. Karin was a long-time active choir member in the past. She had retired to the Heidehof in St. Catharines, but more recently had moved back to Hamilton. Our con-dolences go out to her family and friends. We also extend get well wishes to those choir members who are still sick. We hope that they will be able to join us again soon. We miss them. Thank you Waltraud for do-ing last month’s Choral notes.
This month’s birthdays are: Waltraud Schork, Netty de Wit, Erika Eigen, and Inge Leitner. We wish you a very Happy Birthday, and to ev-eryone, keep on singing! Greetings Jeanet Schaefer

I am so sorry I could not contrib-ute for a few months – I could not type, or even bring my arm up to the keyboard. Now I am on the mend, I hope. Looking at the Germania Post I can see all the events I have missed. And thank you to Annemarie and Dorothea for taking over some of my du-ties. I am sorry also that I have to start my first report in 2017 with sad news: Rose Strinich passed away on January 26 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in her 88th year. Before she was in a senior’s home. She was quite a charac-ter, always made you laugh, very independent, and, as her family said – quite ahead of her time. The Wanners drove her to meet-ings and outings for quite some time, then after Linda’s stroke I took over. Rose loved her food, the outings to Lake Dalrymple and a stopover at the Mandarin in Barrie was always a must. She regretted never having learned to drive herself (her husband would not let her). I am sure we all miss her!!I made phone calls to advise our members that the March 1 meet-ing has been changed to Thurs-day, March 2 since the Club has the traditional Herings-Essen on March 1. A date for our Stif-tungsfest has not yet been set
– there also are a few schedul-ing problems with the Club. In talking to our Ladies I found that just about everybody has a prob-lem getting to the meetings. A few are still working or caring for family members, others are increasingly in bad health (ar-thritis and or vision), don’t feel safe driving evenings anymore, husband is older and has given up driving. A few have moved (Erna Melloh to her daughter in Welland) and have problems get-ting a ride. Others are scared to walk on snow-covered sidewalks, or even drive in the snow. On the bright side: The days are getting longer already and we can expect a few warmer days inbetween. A few of our Ladies are eternal op-timists and they cheer me up. ‘no use complaining – it comes like it comes – it’ll get better again’ and this mostly from people who have been through WW II, had lost everything sometimes sev-eral times in their life. I don’tknow if we published birthdays, so I’ll try to catch up:Brigitte Parzen Jan 7Ina Reile Jan 17 90Trudel Mueller Jan 29 80Sieglinde Seiler Feb 1Rita Jansen Feb 15 82Helga Laqua Feb 26 83

Better late than never, with apologies that our Christmas Report did not make the February Germania Post. In celebration of our year, people braved the snow storm and we were happy to have 24 players come out to celebrate. Joining our members, we welcomed guests from Kitchener, Ohio and Kelowna. We started early this year, since there were other bookings for Christmas Parties, and this seemed to work well. Lunch was enjoyed by everyone, and we celebrated our year end victors, Club Champion, Horst Kreitzer for the 6th year in a row. Second place was Henry Schultz and third place was myself, Heidi Frank. Congratulations to everyone, and a big thank you for the support from our membership throughout the year. We do manage to bring in some business for the club every Saturday, so hopefully this will continue and maybe
our club will continue to grow. We were honoured this year to welcome two very special guests, firstly, Hans Juergen Steinmetz who has been the ISPA president for Canada for as long as our Club exists, he travelled from Kelowna, BC. Also we welcomed the President from ISPA USA, Bill Thompson, who also has been visiting our club for at least 10 years. A big thank you to Lori, for looking after us so well, not only at the Christmas Party but year round, and a thank you to our Germania Club President, Ulli Venohr, for his well wishes for our continued future. Everyone is welcome, Saturday at 12:30 PM, please come and join us.

Dear Members,
Hosting the Volunteer Recog-nition Dinner was the high-light of the month of Janu-ary. It was my real pleasure, to say thank you to a group of volunteers, who have gone way beyond expectations, in volunteering countless hours, and expending much effort, on a regular basis, be-hind the scenes. I would like to thank Wal-traud for her kind words, in recognizing my work and involvement with the Club. Thank you very much. There would be no Germania Club without volunteers. Some of our volunteer mem-bers continue to prepare Sunday lunch, and the movie afternoon. The first Sunday lunch in 2017 was a great success. The restaurant was full, and I counted 45 people in the Great Hall, enjoying the movie afternoon, and coffee and cake with their friends. Thanks again to the volun-

S teers for making this a very special Sunday. By the time you read this ar-ticle, other club events will have taken place. I will re-port on those in the next is-sue.
I would like to send out a re-minder to all of you, to be-come involved; attend the meetings; be informed; be part of a committee; or per-haps take up a position on the Board of Directors. The Germania Club is your club. This is an election year. At-tend, be counted, and make your voice heard at the An-nual General Meeting on Sunday, March 19th.
